The soldier was indeed 'disciplined' and carried out his orders very thoroughly.

The soldiers with shields looked at the city slowly, and when they saw someone throwing stones down, they avoided it.

The archers spared their lives like gold, and began to fire arrows from a long distance, but the arrows did not reach the city wall at all.

Although these people are not very sharp, but the slogan is shouting, and a large number of overseers reserved by Shang Kexi just blocked part of the siege scene, causing the Manchu, Mongolian and Han coalition troops in the rear to think that Shang Kexi was playing with the guards.

Yan Yingyuan on the city wall was also dumbfounded, what the hell is this?

Didn't you come to siege the city? It's up, huh?

Isn't the ladder under the city walls? What are you doing shield soldiers? Swinging, hurry up and die?

And the archers, standing so far away, how can General Ben shoot you?

Not only Yan Yingyuan, but the soldiers on the city wall were also the first time to see such a siege of soldiers, and a few soldiers carrying stones didn't even know where to throw the stones.

These guys are hiding so far away that they can't hit them at all!

It was a stalemate for less than half an hour, and when it was dark, Shang Kexi wiped a handful of blood from a corpse and wiped it on his face, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

His soldiers are tired, not physically, you try to shout at the top of your voice for an hour, or shout as if you are desperate, and this is what it looks like in the end.

I thought that there would be another difficult battle to defend the city, but it turned out to be such a tiger-like scene, which made many soldiers in the city slightly contempt for the Tartar army.

Many soldiers felt that the Tartar army was nothing more than that, and the pressure in their hearts seemed to be much less.

Even if all the soldiers thought so, Yan Yingyuan would not be confused by these appearances, but at least these soldiers could let go of their tense nerves a little, which made Yan Yingyuan feel a lot more relieved.

If all the soldiers can't relax emotionally, the tense nerves can easily lead to the bombing of the camp due to a trivial situation.

This is really common in ancient battlefields, especially for troops with little experience on the battlefield, when they are under pressure, a little wind and grass can make them collapse, and this is what it means to be surrounded by soldiers and embattled.

"Gongchen, you go to the city to take care of the people, and make sure that every person has porridge to drink!" Yan Yingyuan said to Chen Mingyu, who had just come from the border city.

Yan Yingyuan looked at Chen Mingyu's counted casualties, more than 200 defenders in the city were killed and more than 400 injured in the fierce battle in half an afternoon, and looked at the corpses under the city, there must be at least 2,000.

This casualty is acceptable, but this is not enough, there are more than 100,000 troops outside the city, and he wants to drag and consume the Tartars as much as possible with his limited strength, so as to buy time for Shanhaiguan behind him and time for Daming.

The glory of an empire must be paved with blood, and someone will always sacrifice it......

Yan Yingyuan looked at the Liaodong soldiers who were gobbling up food on the city wall, under the firelight, the young faces were reflected, and the rest of their lives after the catastrophe made them extremely happy even if they were eating rough military food.

"Soldiers, your performance today is worthy of the military uniform you are wearing, and even more worthy of the court and the saint.

Your courage is enough to be called the Tianxiong Army of the Ming Dynasty, and I am proud to be an imperial baron and a Shanhaiguan senator who has such an unyielding warrior!

However, this is not enough!

The Jianyu army is coming, we must buy time for Governor Huang and Daming behind us, three days! We need to stay here for three days!

Three days later, Governor Huang of Shanhaiguan will send troops to support and rescue us, but before that, we must drag the dogs outside the city and let them see who is the bad breed!

Do you have faith? ”

As a Confucian general, Yan Yingyuan rarely speaks foul language, but this is a border city, and talking to these Liaodong men will only make them feel alienated, but scolding a few foul words makes them extremely comfortable.

"the bastards outside the city!" A bearded soldier shouted.

"When was Lao Tzu afraid? it! ”

"General Yan, rest assured, with you, we are steadfast in our hearts, and we will definitely not embarrass you!"

The defenders of the city are all veterans, these veterans know their hearts, the reason why there are few casualties today is mostly due to Yan Yingyuan's credit, their generals are really good at controlling the situation.

It is really fortunate to always be able to achieve the greatest advantage at the minimum cost, and to fight with such a general.

"General Yan, I heard that you are very familiar with An Guohou of the Ming Dynasty, you said that if I die in battle, can I enter the martyr's monument?" A burly man who had been hit by an arrow in the arm and was being bandaged suddenly said.

"You coward! All the people in the city are dead, and they can't die you. The robe that bandaged him on the side scolded with a smile.

"Yes, Governor Huang has a roster of all the soldiers in our Qiantun City, Hou Ye is a man of his word, he is a hero of our Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Yingyuan suddenly recalled the scene when he had just received the emperor's decree and rushed from Jiangyin to the capital in a daze, at that time he was just a classic history, and at that time, the Long Live Mountain Thousand Households was just a group of teenagers who had just enlisted in the army.

At that time, the Hou Ye was not too old and weak, and he acted sloppily and recklessly, this year, everyone has changed a lot! Yan Yingyuan had a lot of affection in his heart.

"You don't have to worry, didn't the official say it, we just need to defend the city with all our hearts, and as soon as the Ming reinforcements arrive in three days, it will be when the captives outside the city will be destroyed!"

The rough men under the torches instantly had a strange feeling, which made these illiterate big-headed soldiers indescribable, but they knew that it was worth it, and it was worth it to suffer or even die for it.

Even a few tired men heard the words of the martyr's monument, and instantly turned around.

For thousands of years, the soldiers who died on the battlefield were reduced to ashes and buried on the spot, becoming a nameless grave, but now it seems that everything has meaning.

Kill the enemy in life, achieve fame through the ages, and die as a hero, and enjoy the dedication of all the people.

What else does this say?

The fighting spirit of the soldiers was successfully stimulated, but Yan Yingyuan's heart became heavier and heavier, this was naked deception, but he had nothing to do.

The three-day deadline is nothing more than an attempt to give them hope, desperate soldiers are ineffective, but reinforcements?

In the night sky, Yan Yingyuan looked at the south and sighed deeply.

The weather is still very cold, and under such conditions, Jianyu will never attack the city overnight, in fact, if it is not for extreme circumstances, there will be no field battles in ancient times.

The reason is very simple, because the nutrition cannot keep up, most of the soldiers are simply half blind at night, and the soldiers in the city are better, throwing torches down and throwing stones down.

Will not the besieging soldiers become lambs to the slaughter?

Yan Yingyuan was also well aware of this, and he ordered most of the soldiers to go to sleep, but they were not allowed to take off their battle armor, leaving only a very small number of soldiers to be on guard.

And he himself has more important things to do.

"Old Yan, the people are all waiting under the city, and a total of two thousand people have been recruited according to your orders, all of them are fierce and courageous!" Chen Mingyu came up from the city and said.
